However, if the endometriosis occurs in the pelvic peritoneal or rectovaginal areas, this can induce female to have painful periods. Of course, if the lesion affects or damages the ovary and pelvis, and causing deeply pelvic adhesion or distorted fallopian tube, finally, it can result in infertility, in this situation; childbearing patients will doubt what the possibility of being pregnant is?
